Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15, Graded (PSA 9): $30 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for common Dirk Nowitzki base cards from the early 2000s typically range between $5 and $15 depending on exact condition and platform.
Condition Details
The card is inside a protective plastic sleeve which creates some surface glare and reflections. The centering appears slightly off-top to bottom with more white border at the top, and minor corner softening is likely present based on standard handling for this era.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading for value unless aiming for a personal collection or if the card grades out at a guaranteed PSA 10, given the grading fees compared to the raw market value.
Card Description
Features Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks in his white and blue uniform, playing center/forward. The card design incorporates horizontal text bands reading 'AUTHENTIC 2001-02 SP AUTHENTIC', a grid of foil squares, a dynamic action shot of Dirk extending his arm, his script name 'Dirk Nowitzki', the SP Authentic logo, and 'MAVERICKS - CENTER / FORWARD' at the bottom.
Notable Features
Features Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki during his prime years with the Dallas Mavericks, distinct SP Authentic design elements with foil grid boxes and authentication text bands.
Authentication Notes
Standard Upper Deck SP Authentic card stock and foil stamping of the era. No immediate signs of counterfeiting, but physical inspection without the sleeve would be needed to verify micro-details, holo-foil integrity, and surface wear.
